Dr. Susan Markel is a board-certified pediatrician, skilled in all aspects of general pediatric care. A graduate of Tufts University School of Medicine, she has been a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics since 1981. During her years in private pediatrics practice in central Connecticut, she served as an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of Connecticut Health Center, teaching pediatric residents. She left Connecticut to serve as the medical director of pediatric clinics in Hilton Head Island, S.C., as well as South Florida, and Huntsville, Ala. She has spoken about attachment parenting at conferences in Birmingham, England; Dublin, Ireland; and Amsterdam. She is a sought-after expert witness in custody cases involving separation and divorce.

Dr. Markel has served as a medical liaison for breastfeeding support organization La Leche League International for 20 years. She currently has a private consultative pediatric practice specializing in attachment parenting and child health.

She is medical advisor at Attachment Parenting International, a nonprofit parenting organization promoting "peaceful parenting for a peaceful world." Dr. Markel has appeared on several live television broadcasts, discussing topics related to lifestyle issues, nutrition, infant sign language, divorce, stress, fever and disciplining with love. She is a regular columnist for BabyCenter.com and the ClubMom Web site and is a spokesperson for Ergo Baby Carriers, which features her on its Web site.

Dr. Linda Palmer is a doctor of chiropractic, a consultant and speaker on pediatric nutrition and natural parenting challenges, a science writer and a mother. She left her chiropractic practice shortly after the birth of her son, when she was confronted with his serious health complications and astounded by the lack of accurate or helpful information from doctors or books. For her son’s sake, she delved deeply into the scientific and medical literature to find answers, which led to further questions and some astonishing realizations.
